I’m writing to clear up a few issues and any questions you may have. We here at goTULA.NEt are in no way being paid for any content, information, and affiliation with Campus Connection and their contribution to the site. I don’t believe anyone thinks this is the case, but thought it was best to let you all know. This open forum is happily funded by me, with no reservation.

I'm actively trying to promote this site within the Tulane and NOLA community, and felt the addition of Campus Connection would be one of many great ways to do so. We all know it is a struggle to get our voices heard as Tulane fans. With that being said, I will always embrace any collaborative efforts that come our way. So I ask that you please take the time, visit the TU Gear forum often, and offer Dave and Campus Connection your opinions and valuable input.

This forum can only grow with your participation and word of mouth. I thank you all for your varying opinions and sometimes heated debates. It is through open discussion and sharing of ALL opinions that real change can be made.

Our membership numbers are increasing, our daily visits are on the rise, and more people are stopping by to take a look. The real thoughts and opinions of Tulane fans are being seen. Keep it up.

Ditto what everyone else said. Great job, Steve! And thanks for the opportunity. I know what goes into running a quality sports fan website because I started Canal Street Chronicles, a Saints blog, over three years ago and watched it grow tremendously.

Steve: Thanks for the ability to allow us to express our views of the Tulane Athletic Dept. Speaking for myself, I am not associated with anyone or anything -- my lack of political correctness causes this in my life. (and do not allow me to get started on what this country has been going through over the last ten years or more -- that will get me banned -- even off of this board)

I want to see Tulane athletics achieve success, but I am nobody's yes man, and I never will be. This forum has allowed me to vent my frustrations over a short period of time. Thanks for that outlet.
